I think it's disgusting and disgraceful that the Bremainers want Britain to fail and seem determined to will that failure into reality.
Did you get an email yesterday saying your job was at risk and there were likely to be redundancies?
Anyone getting that kind of email under any circumstances - pre or post Brexit, I do think is fair to be less than positive about the future and more than a little worried.
How else would you expect them to react?
But oh we should be dancing in the street because they have just got independence? The fact they might be looking at loosing their home a few months down the line is totally irrelevant. They are empowered. We should all be happy?
Yeah. Its disgusting and disgraceful behaviour that they are not being optimistic and cheerful. Yep 'cheer up love, it can't be that bad' seems to the exact mentally on display here.
Lets unite and hold hands because that's going to make all the bloody difference to the reality of what some people are facing.
No understanding the impact and what the immediate effects of a leave vote would mean would have been a lot more helpful to a future. Having a clear plan that would have reassured businesses, so they weren't put in a position yesterday where the uncertainty means they are planning for fuck knows what. We asked for one, and didn't get one and were told to BELEIVE. Believe in what? My Little Pony? That doesn't really cut it, if you are responsible for the employment future of hundreds or even thousands of workers.
What are we getting instead? Oh well, yes its true, we probably won't be able to afford to give the NHS all that money afterall. Talk about reassurance...
Good leadership needed to come from the Leave campaign as much as the from the defeated Remain campaign at this point. It is totally absent, and we now have the political infighting that was predicted and was always going to happen. Boris is saying 'Take our time'. The EU is saying 'Get it done. Get it done NOW' in our absence. Brilliant.
Instead of bitching about how people are reacting on MN take a look at the leadership of this country and tell me you are confident about the next few months and how they are encouraging unity and confidence. Without it coming from the top, do you think it realistic to expect everyone else to be united. There is nothing to suggest and encourage that sentiment.
What the market, may or may not be doing, is only a very small part of it.
There are lots of people who are quite happy to brush off or play down feelings of worry as either irrelevant or scaremongering or any other dismissive sentiment you can care to think of. There is also this attitude that it almost like its ok to get one over on certain groups as its something they 'deserved' because they aren't one of you or they aren't poor enough or they must be selfish.
Its not helpful.
People are reacting in a human way, that anyone would at the prospect of losing their jobs. People really are worried for their future for lots of legitimate reasons.
The trickle down effect, will be that people will not be spending this week, next week or the week after. Self fulfilling? Only because there was no clear and strong plan in this event from anyone.
Do you really think turning around and telling people to stop being 'hysterical' under the circumstances, is going to help the mood and do this magic uniting of the country. If you aren't prepared to act in a way that supports and is empathetic to others at this crucial point, do you think that others will automatically open their arms to you in the arms of unity?
The fact that people are not willing to listen to this sentiment, when they have been bleating on about not being listened to over their concerns is frankly laughable and hypocrisy of the highest order.
On what fucking planet are some people on?! My mind continues to be blown by the utter insanity of it all.
I'll just get out the Rule Britannia bunting and it'll all be just fine. We are Britain.
Oh do bugger off old chap. There's a good fellow. Its meaningless claptrap.
